MANTLE-SUPPORT CARRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 688,348, dated December10, 1901. Application filed March 19, 1 00. Serial No. 9,324. on model.)

To w ll whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE D. SCOTT, a citizen of theUnited States,residing at Birming: ham, in the county of Jefferson and State ofAlabama, have invented a certain new'anduseful Mantle-Support Carrier,of which the following is a specification.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, efficient,and comparatively inexpensive mantle-support carrier or holder; and tothis end the invention consists of the improvements hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

The nature, characteristic features, and scope of the invention will bemore fully understood from the following description, taken inconnection with the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, and inwhich-'- Figure 1 is a side elevational view of the mantle carrier orholder. Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same; and Fig. 3 is a sideelevational view, partly in section, illustrating one of several ways ofattaching my mantle-support carrier or holder to the burner-head.

In the drawings, a is a mantle-support carrier or holder, which may becast, screwed, riveted, or otherwise attached to a burnerhead or otherappropriate parts of a Welsbach or other incandescent light. As shown inthe drawings, the mantle carrier or holder is bifurcated and providedwith athreaded stem a, which may either be applied to a ring or collar bor applied directly to the burner. I As shown in Fig. 3, it is screwedinto a collar 12,- which is fitted over the burner-head, and thuspresents an attractive appearance and produces an arrangement which issimple in adjustment. Although it could be applied to the burner-headdirect, still the means of at tachment are not part of this invention.The carrier or holder at is equipped with a clamp ing-lever 0, adaptedto bind and rigidly hold a mantle-support d of any preferred shape,size, or type. This-is facilitated by reason of the fact that thecarrier or holder is provided with a socket e, which, if V-shaped, asshown, prevents the mantle support from turning when the clamping-leverc is pressed into op erative position.

Mantles by reason of their fragility require the utmost care when beingmounted upon a mantle-support and permit of the withdrawal of thesamefree of jars or vibrations.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the inventionappertains that modifications may be made in details without departingfrom the spirit thereof. Hence I do not limit myself to the preciseconstruction and arrangement of parts hereinabove set forth, andillustrated in the drawings; but,

Having thus described the nature and objects of the invention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-'- Thecombination with the collar of a burnerhead, of astem projecting fromone side thereof and having a longitudinal bifurcation terminating atits inner extremity in a V-shaped slot adapted to receive amantle-support, anda clamping-lever pivoted between the arms of thebifurcation and adapted to bind the mantle-support in said V-shapedslot,substantial1y as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed my name.

GEORGE D. SCOTT. In presence of R. B. Hoeun, B. G. HENDERSON.
